2.2

Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

 

The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

 

Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those described in Note 3 of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements except as follows:

 

Assets under construction

 

Assets under construction consists of expenditures incurred for the rehabilitation of existing Whistler Project camp facilities and the construction of additional facilities. Costs incurred during construction that are directly attributable to bringing an asset into working condition for its intended use are capitalized; costs that are not necessary in readying an asset for use are recognized as an expense as incurred. Assets under construction are transferred to other respective asset classes and are depreciated when they are completed and available for use.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash includes cash that has been pledged for credit facilities which are not available for immediate disbursement.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories include materials and supplies, which are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.

Long-term Investments

 

As at August 31, 2023, the Company's long-term investments consist of equity securities in Gold Royalty Corp. ("GRC"), measured at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI") and warrants held in NevGold Corp. ("NevGold"), measured at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). Long-term investments in equity securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices, with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and reported as other comprehensive income or loss. Refer to tables below for movement in long-term investments measured at FVTOCI.

 

Investment in Gold Royalty Corp.

 

The Company's investment in GRC is recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices, with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and reported as other comprehensive income or loss.

 

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2023, the Company acquired 131,872 and 254,466, respectively, of GRC common shares for $311 and $653, respectively, including transaction costs, through open market purchases under the facilities of the NYSE American.

 

NevGold Corp.

 

During the year ended November 30, 2022, the Company acquired 5,925,925 common shares of NevGold upon the grant of an option to NevGold on the Company's Almaden Project (Note 8), representing a 10.5% ownership interest in NevGold upon closing of the transaction. The investment in NevGold was initially recognized at fair value based on quoted market prices and subsequently measured at FVTOCI, with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and reported as other comprehensive income or loss.

 

On December 1, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 2,976,200 units ("Units") of NevGold in a brokered private placement, which closed on December 5, 2022, for a total purchase price of $1,250 (Note 8). Each Unit, priced at $0.42 per Unit, consisted of one common share of NevGold (each, a "NevGold Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "NevGold Warrant") of NevGold. Each NevGold Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.60 until December 5, 2024.

 

At initial recognition, the purchase price of $1,250 was allocated to the value of the NevGold Common Shares and NevGold Warrants. The fair value of the NevGold Common Shares was determined to be $1,042 based on quoted market prices. The initial fair value of the NevGold Warrants of $208 was determined on a residual basis. The NevGold Warrants are subsequently measured at FVTPL.

    0.00 %     -  

 

On January 1, 2023, pursuant to the Option Agreement signed with NevGold on the Almaden Project (Note 8), the Company received 3,658,536 common shares of NevGold with a fair value of $1,134.

 

On July 13, 2023, pursuant to the Option Agreement signed with NevGold on the Almaden Project (Note 8), the Company received 4,109,589 common shares of NevGold with a fair value of $1,562, increasing its ownership in NevGold from 17.6% to 22.0%. As a result of the increase in ownership in NevGold above 20%, the Company concluded that it exercises significant influence over NevGold. The Company's $6,335 investment measured at FVTOCI through to July 13, 2023, was derecognized and reclassified to investment in associate (Note 6). As a result of the discontinuation of FVTOCI accounting, $892 was reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit and loss. After July 13, 2023, the Company's investment in NevGold is being recorded using the equity method. As at August 31, 2023 the Company owns 16,670,250 shares of NevGold.

 

The following outlines the movement of the Company's long-term investments in GRC and NevGold during the nine months ended August 31, 2023, and the year ended November 30, 2022:

On June 13, 2022, the Company and its subsidiary entered into an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with NevGold and a subsidiary of NevGold, pursuant to which, among other things, it agreed to grant an option to acquire 100% of the Company's Almaden Project to a subsidiary of NevGold. Pursuant to the terms thereof, on July 4, 2022 (the "Option Agreement Closing Date"), the Company closed the grant of the option to NevGold's subsidiary for 4,444,444 common shares of NevGold ("NevGold Shares").

 

To exercise the option, NevGold must, among other things:

 

make additional payments totaling $6,000 to GoldMining's subsidiary between January 1, 2023 and January 1, 2024, which payments may be satisfied by NevGold in cash or through the issuance of NevGold Shares, on the following dates:

 

o

January 1, 2023: $1,500 (completed)

 

o

July 1, 2023: $1,500 (completed)

In the event that NevGold elects to satisfy any of the foregoing payments by issuing NevGold Shares, the number of such shares will be based upon the volume weighted average price of the NevGold Shares for the then-applicable 30-trading day period.

 

 

complete qualifying expenditures on the Project totaling $2,250, comprised of $1,500 on or before June 1, 2023 (completed), and a further $750 on or before December 31, 2023.

 

 

Additionally, NevGold is required to make success-based contingent payments totaling up to $7,500 to GoldMining, payable in cash or shares at the election of NevGold based on the following:

 

o

$500 on completion of a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment

 

o

$2,500 on completion of a positive Preliminary Feasibility Study

 

o

$4,500 on completion of a positive Feasibility Study

 

GoldMining agreed to, subject to certain conditions, purchase additional NevGold equity in an amount to the lesser of $1,250 and 40% of the total gross proceeds raised by NevGold in certain qualifying financings announced prior to November 30, 2022. The Company completed the purchase of shares in NevGold with a value of $1,250 on December 5, 2022 (Note 5).

 

On January 1, 2023 and July 13, 2023, pursuant to the Option Agreement, the Company received 3,658,536 and 4,109,589, respectively, of common shares of NevGold with fair values of $1,134 and $1,562, respectively (Note 5).

 

As the carrying value of the Almaden Project was $nil on the date of the receipt of the option payments during 2023, the Company recorded a recovery on receipt of mineral property option payments of $1,562 and $2,696, respectively, during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2023.

 

Surubim

 

The Company's Surubim Project consists of the Surubim and Rio Novo concessions located in Para State, Brazil. During the quarter ended August 31, 2023, the Company continued efforts to negotiate an extension for its Rio Novo concessions under the Jarbas Agreement, but after failing to settle, provided the property vendor with a notice of termination, which is subject to acceptance by the vendor (Note 16). As a result, the Company impaired exploration and evaluation assets associated with the Rio Novo concessions in the amount of $1,809.

On October 28, 2021, as amended on July 27, 2022, October 27, 2022, May 25, 2023 and June 21, 2023, the Company established a margin loan facility (the "Facility") for $13.4 million (US$10 million). The Facility: (i) was subject to an interest rate of 3-month USD Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Finance Rate ("SOFR") plus 5.65% per annum, with the unutilized portion of the Facility subject to a standby fee of 3.00% per annum; (ii) originally matured on the earlier of October 27, 2023 or an earlier repayment date in accordance with its terms; (iii) was secured by 20,700,000 shares of GRC owned by the Company; and (iv) was subject to customary loan-to-value and minimum share price requirements and conditions to drawdowns. The Company paid a one-time facility fee equal to 1.50% of the Facility. The Facility provided for a minimum outstanding advance of $9.4 million (US$7 million) and certain customary early repayment fees in the event that any portion of such minimum amount is repaid prior to maturity.

 

In February 2023, the Company and the lender modified the Facility, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company repaid $2.7 million (US$2.0 million) without incurring early prepayment fees and the Facility's margin and pricing requirements were amended in light of existing market conditions.

 

In May 2023, the Company and the lender modified the Facility, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company repaid $2.7 million (US$2.0 million) without incurring early prepayment fees and the Facility's margin and pricing requirements were further amended in light of existing market conditions.

 

In June 2023, the Facility was further amended and the Company repaid $1.5 million (US$1.2 million) without incurring early re-payment fees. A further $1.5 million (US$1.2 million) repayment was made on July 28, 2023 and the Facility maturity date was revised to August 30, 2023. In addition, a one-time Facility amendment fee of $68 (US$50,000) was paid on August 29, 2023.

 

As of August 31, 2023, the Facility has been fully repaid, the outstanding principal is $nil and there are no remaining obligations. Additionally, the 20,700,000 GRC shares that were held as security for the Facility were released.

 

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2023, the Company recorded a loss on modification of margin loan of $163 and $422, respectively, as a result of executing amendments to the Facility.

At-the-Market Equity Program

 

On December 10, 2021, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement (the "2021 Distribution Agreement") with a syndicate of agents for an at-the-market equity distribution program (the "ATM Program"). The 2021 Distribution Agreement allows the Company to distribute up to US$50 million (or the equivalent in Canadian dollars) of its common shares (the "ATM Shares"). The ATM Shares sold under the ATM Program, were sold at the prevailing market price on the TSX or the NYSE, as applicable, at the time of sale. The 2021 Distribution Agreement was terminated on December 30, 2022.

 

On December 30, 2022, the Company entered into a new ATM Program which replaces the previous ATM program which was set to expire on January 1, 2023 in accordance with its terms. Pursuant to the new ATM Program, the Company may distribute up to US$50 million (or the equivalent in Canadian dollars) of ATM Shares. The ATM Shares sold under the new ATM Program, if any, will be sold at the prevailing market price on the TSX or the NYSE, as applicable, at the time of sale. Sales of ATM Shares will be made pursuant to the terms of an equity distribution agreement dated December 30, 2022 (the "2022 Distribution Agreement"). Unless earlier terminated by the Company or the agents as permitted therein, the new ATM Program will terminate upon the earlier of: (a) the date that the aggregate gross sales proceeds of the ATM Shares sold under the ATM Program reaches the aggregate amount of US$50 million (or the equivalent in Canadian dollars); or (b) November 27, 2023.

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2023, the Company issued 6,471,309 common shares under the ATM Program for gross proceeds of $7,638, with aggregate commissions paid to agents of $191.

Restricted Share Rights

 

The Company's restricted share plan (the "RSP") was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") on November 27, 2018. Pursuant to the terms of the RSP, the Board may designate directors, senior officers, employees and consultants of the Company eligible to receive restricted share rights ("RSR(s)") to acquire such number of GoldMining Shares as the Board may determine, in accordance with the restricted periods schedule during the recipient's continual service with the Company. There are no cash settlement alternatives. The RSP was approved by the Company's shareholders in accordance with its term at the Company's annual general meeting held on May 25, 2019.

 

The RSRs vest in accordance with the vesting schedule during the recipient's continual service with the Company. The Company classifies RSRs as equity instruments since the Company has the ability and intent to settle the awards in common shares. The compensation expense for standard RSRs is calculated based on the fair value of each RSR as determined by the closing value of the Company's common shares at the date of the grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period of the RSR.  The Company expects to settle RSRs, upon vesting, through the issuance of new common shares from treasury.

US GoldMining Initial Public Offering and other equity transactions

 

US GoldMining Initial Public Offering

 

On April 19, 2023, US GoldMining entered into an underwriting agreement for an offering of 2,000,000 units of US GoldMining (the "Units") at a price of US$10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant, and each common share purchase warrant entitles the holder to acquire a common share at a price of US$13.00 per share until April 24, 2026.

 

On April 24, 2023 (the "Closing Date"), US GoldMining issued 2,000,000 Units at a price of US$10.00 per Unit for gross proceeds of $27.1 million (US$20.0 million), which included GoldMining's purchase of 122,490 Units in the Offering for total consideration of $1.7 million (US$1.2 million). In connection with the Offering, US GoldMining incurred securities issuance costs of $1.3 million (US$1.0 million), of which $0.9 million (US$0.7 million) represented cash fees paid to the Underwriters. The Offering proceeds are designated for US GoldMining's operational activities and are not available for use by GoldMining Inc. or other subsidiaries of GoldMining.

 

The US GoldMining Offering unlocked value by creating a separate standalone public company to advance the Whistler Project, without diluting GoldMining's capital structure.

 

As at August 31, 2023, GoldMining held 9,878,261 US GoldMining Shares, or approximately 79.7% of US GoldMining's outstanding common shares and 122,490 US GoldMining Warrants and has common management and a common director of GoldMining. The Company concluded that subsequent to US GoldMining's Offering, it has control over US GoldMining and as a result, continues to consolidate the entity. US GoldMining's earnings and losses are included in GoldMining's consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, with net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to US GoldMining separately disclosed as being attributable to Non-Controlling Interests ("NCI"). The NCI in US GoldMining's net assets is reflected in the consolidated statements of financial position and the consolidated statements of changes in equity. For the nine month period ended August 31, 2023, the NCI in these consolidated financial statements solely relate to US GoldMining.

During the period from the US GoldMining Offering to August 31, 2023, the Company recorded a dilution gain of $44 and an increase to NCI of $1,163 as a result of the following transactions:

 

 

GoldMining acquired 255,770 shares of US GoldMining for $3,403 including transaction costs, through open market purchases over the facilities of Nasdaq.

 

US GoldMining issued 258,708 shares for gross proceeds of $4,523 as a result of Warrant exercises during the period.

 

285,750 of US GoldMining's performance based restricted shares vested (Note 12.3).

 

US GoldMining issued 5,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $86 to a consultant in consideration for services under a consulting agreement, with amounts recorded to share-based compensation.

 

As a result of the equity offering and the other aforementioned transactions, the NCI in US GoldMining increased from nil to 18.02%, or $3,885 in the Company's statement of financial position as at August 31, 2023.

US GoldMining Stock Options

 

On February 6, 2023, US GoldMining adopted a long-term incentive plan ("2023 Incentive Plan"). The purpose of the 2023 Incentive Plan is to provide an incentive for employees, directors and certain consultants and advisors of US GoldMining or its subsidiaries to remain in the service of US GoldMining or its subsidiaries. The 2023 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, performance awards, restricted stock awards and other cash and equity-based awards. The aggregate number of common shares issuable under the 2023 Incentive Plan in respect of awards shall not exceed 10% of the common shares issued and outstanding.

On May 4, 2023, US GoldMining granted 82,500 stock options at an exercise price of US$10.00 per share. The share options are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant and will vest as follows: (a) 25% on the grant date; and (b) 25% on each of the dates that are 6, 12 and 18 months thereafter. The fair value of the share options granted was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 3.47%, expected life of 3 years, expected dividend yield of 0%, estimated forfeiture rate of 0% and expected volatility of 61.34%. As there is limited trading history of US GoldMining's common shares prior to the date of grant, the expected volatility is based on the historical share price volatility of a group of comparable companies in the sector US GoldMining operates over a period similar to the expected life of the share options.

 

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2023, US GoldMining recognized share-based compensation expense of $106 and $255, respectively, for share options granted by US GoldMining. As at August 31, 2023, the number of US GoldMining share options outstanding was 82,500 at a weighted average exercise price of US$10.00 per share and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 4.68 years.

 

12.3

US GoldMining Restricted Shares

 

On September 23, 2022, US GoldMining adopted an equity incentive plan (the "Legacy Incentive Plan"). The Legacy Incentive Plan provides for the grant of restricted stock awards. The purpose of the Legacy Incentive Plan is to provide an incentive for employees, directors and certain consultants and advisors of US GoldMining or its subsidiaries to remain in the service of US GoldMining or its subsidiaries. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to the grant of the restricted stock awards is 1,000,000 shares of common stock in the US GoldMining.

 

On September 23, 2022, US GoldMining granted awards of an aggregate of 635,000 shares of performance based restricted shares (the "Restricted Shares") of common stock under the Legacy Incentive Plan to certain of US GoldMining's and GoldMining's executive officers, directors and consultants, the terms of which were amended on May 4, 2023.

 

The Restricted Shares are subject to restrictions that, among other things, prohibit the transfer thereof until certain performance conditions are met. In addition, if such conditions are not met within applicable periods, the restricted shares will be deemed forfeited and surrendered by the holder thereof to US GoldMining without the requirement of any further consideration. The performance conditions are as follows:

 

 

(a)

with respect to 15% of the performance based restricted shares of common stock, if US GoldMining has not completed equity financing(s) in an aggregate amount of at least US$15,000,000 prior to or concurrently with the earlier of: (i) the date that is two years after the date of grant of such award; and (ii) the occurrence of a liquidation event, as such term is defined in the Legacy Incentive Plan, or any merger with or sale of US GoldMining's outstanding shares or all or substantially all of US GoldMining's assets to a third-party, referred to as an "Exit Transaction", provided that, for greater certainty, the following shall not be considered an Exit Transaction: (A) any amalgamation, merger or consolidation of US GoldMining's business with or into a related entity; (B) a transaction undertaken solely for the purpose of changing US GoldMining's place of domicile or jurisdiction of incorporation; (C) an equity financing; and (D) completion of an initial public offering, spin-off from GoldMining or other going public transaction, referred to as an "IPO Event"(performance condition met);

 

 

(b)

with respect to 15% of the performance based restricted shares of common stock, an IPO Event has not occurred that values US GoldMining's business at a minimum of US$100,000,000 prior to the date that is two years after the date of grant of such award (performance condition met);

 

 

(c)

with respect to 15% of the performance based restricted shares of common stock, if the recipient of such award ceases to be US GoldMining's or US GoldMining's affiliates' director, officer, employee or consultant, as applicable, at any time during the period from the date of grant of such award until the date that is two years after the date of grant;

(d)

with respect to 15% of the performance based restricted shares of common stock, if US GoldMining has not re-established camp at the Whistler Project and performed a minimum of 10,000 meters of drilling prior to the date that is three years after the date of grant of such award;

 

 

(e)

with respect to 15% of the performance based restricted shares of common stock, if US GoldMining has not achieved a share price of US$15.00 prior to the date that is four years after the date of grant of such award (performance condition met);

 

 

(f)

with respect to 15% of the performance based restricted shares of common stock, if US GoldMining has not achieved a US$250,000,000 market capitalization, based on the number of shares of US GoldMining's outstanding common stock multiplied by the volume-weighted average price for any applicable five (5) consecutive trading day period on the principal stock exchange on which US GoldMining's common stock is listed prior to the date that is five years after the date of grant of such award; or

 

 

(g)

with respect to 10% of the performance based restricted common stock, if US GoldMining has not achieved a share price of US$25.00 prior to the date that is six years after the date of grant of such award.

 

Upon satisfaction of the conditions referenced in both (f) and (g) above (regardless of whether they occur simultaneously or consecutively), all of the unvested Restricted Shares will be 100% vested and will be deemed Released Stock.

 

In the event that US GoldMining files the disclosure specified in Subpart 1300 of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Regulation S-K Report with the SEC or the disclosure specified in Canadian National Instrument 43-101, Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Products, to the relevant Canadian securities regulator (the "Securities Filing") that includes, in either disclosure, an aggregate estimate of mineral resources for the Whistler Project or any other project owned or operated by US GoldMining of 3,000,000 additional gold or gold equivalent ounces from the amount reported on the disclosure specified in US GoldMining's Subpart 1300 of the SEC Regulation S-K Report dated September 22, 2022, 190,500 shares of the Restricted Shares will be deemed Released Shares as of the date of such Securities Filing (or if such amount exceeds the number of shares of Restricted Shares that have not yet become Released Shares at the time, such lesser number of shares of Restricted Shares) reducing, on a proportional basis, the number of unvested shares of Restricted Shares subject to each vesting condition.

 

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2023, US GoldMining recognized share-based compensation expense of $7 and $59 (three and nine months ended August 31, 2022 - $nil and $nil), respectively, related to US GoldMining's Restricted Shares.

Financial Instruments

 

The Company's financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investment, reclamation deposits and long-term investments. The Company's financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture and due to related parties. The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing fair value of financial instruments:

 

 

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs have a significant effect on the recorded fair value which are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

 

The Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture and due to related parties approximate fair value due to their short terms to settlement. The Company's short-term investments and long-term investments in common shares of equity securities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of short-term and long-term investments is based on the quoted market price of the short-term and long-term investments. The fair value of warrants to purchase shares in NevGold were initially determined on a residual basis and subsequently measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The significant inputs used are readily available in public markets and therefore have been classified as level 2. Inputs used in the Black-Scholes model for the valuation of the warrants include risk-free interest rate, volatility, and dividend yield.

 

13.1

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

 

The financial risk arising from the Company's operations are currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and equity price risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The risks associated with the Company's financial instruments and the policies on how the Company mitigates these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.

 

13.2

Currency Risk

 

The Company's operating expenses and acquisition costs are denominated in United States dollars, the Brazilian Real, the Colombian Peso and Canadian dollars. The exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arises mainly on foreign currencies against the Company and its subsidiaries functional currencies. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage foreign exchange fluctuations; however, management monitors foreign exchange exposure.

 

The Canadian dollar equivalents of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets are as follows:

The impact of a Canadian dollar change against the United States Dollar on the investment in GRC by 10% at August 31, 2023 would have an impact, net of tax, of approximately $3,656 on other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended August 31, 2023. The impact of a Canadian dollar change against the United States Dollar on the Company's other financial instruments based on balances at August 31, 2023 would have an impact of $1,857 on net loss for the nine months ended August 31, 2023.

 

13.3

Interest Rate Risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in interest rates. The Company's exposure to interest rate risk arises from the impact of interest rates on its cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, term deposits and lease liabilities, which bear interest at fixed rates. The interest rate risks on the Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and lease liabilities are minimal. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations.

 

13.4

Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk for the Company is primarily associated with the Company's bank balances.

 

The Company mitigates credit risk associated with its bank balances by holding cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash with Schedule I chartered banks in Canada and their US affiliates. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is equivalent to the carrying value of its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in excess of the amount of government deposit insurance coverage for each financial institution. In order to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, the Company closely monitors its financial assets.

 

13.5

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities.  To manage liquidity risk the Company closely monitors its liquidity position and ensures it has adequate sources of funding to finance its projects and operations.  As at August 31, 2023, the Company has working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $22,746.  The Company's other receivables, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to joint venture, due to related parties, lease liabilities and withholding taxes payable are expected to be realized or settled within a one-year period. US GoldMining's cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $18,729 and other assets of $3,812 are not available for use by GoldMining or other subsidiaries of GoldMining (Note 12.1).

 

The Company has current cash and cash equivalent balances, access to its ATM Program, whereby the Company has the ability to issue shares for cash, and ownership of liquid assets at its disposal. The Company owns 9.88 million shares and 0.12 million warrants of Nasdaq listed US GoldMining (closing share and warrant trading prices as of August 31, 2023 of US$9.98 and US$2.57, respectively, with a fair value of US$98.9 million), 21.43 million shares of NYSE listed Gold Royalty Corp. (closing share price as of August 31, 2023 of US$1.46 reflects a fair value of US$31.3 million), 16.67 million shares of NevGold (fair value of $5.5 million) and received dividends of $856 from GRC during the nine months ended August 31, 2023. GoldMining believes that its cash on hand, ability to enter into future borrowings collateralized by the US GoldMining, GRC and NevGold shares and access to its ATM Program will enable the Company to meet its working capital requirements for the next twelve months commencing from the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.  

 

13.6

Equity Price Risk

 

The Company is exposed to equity price risk as a result of holding its long-term investments. The Company does not actively trade its long-term investments. The equity prices of its long-term investments are impacted by various underlying factors including commodity prices. Based on the Company's long-term investments held as at August 31, 2023, a 10% change in the equity prices of its long-term investments would have an impact, net of tax, of approximately $3,656 on other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended August 31, 2023.
